There are lots of buy ratings on the stock but that’s for a longer term hold I would think. I’d suggest you might see $12 at some point. I’d consider a buy at that point but even then I’d argue the next number of quarters aren’t going to be good. With increased labour costs or labour disruption the 4th quarter might be brutal. There’s also a strong likelihood of tax loss selling pushing the share price down even further towards the end of the calendar year.

I’d be wary of AC stock.
Never good to try and catch a falling knife. Too many uncertainties right now for AC and airlines in general for my risk profile. I'd say it's a safer short than a buy.
